REVIEW: DiorSkin Star Foundation

I received this exclusive five-day trial of DiorSkin Star Foundation in the post last week, I thought it would be perfect for me to review. So after using it for a few days, here are my thoughts.

FOTD Friday: Simple Liner

Happy Friday everyone! 

My FOTD is just something simple that I do towards the end of week but a little bit more than my usual everyday make up.

I love this look, it's so versatile for anything you have planned whether it's a day at the office with back to back meetings or a day off shopping. This make up look is so easy to carry through to the night aswell, all I would do is add a dramatic red lip. Sometimes I pair this with eyeshadow but today I have just gone with a lined top lip with no eyeshadow, just a highlighter in the inner corners of my eyes. 

                                             

Feelin' Festive.

17 SLEEPS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Christmas is upon us and it feels like it has flown by, I can't believe that it is here already and I am most definitely in the festive spirit - well I am now anyways.

I say now, because this time last week I felt like a complete Scrooge. I had no decorations up in my house, I turned the radio down every time a Christmas song was played and I had no thoughts on Christmas presents let alone bought any. I still haven't bought any presents yet but I have made a list - at least I partially organised. I must admit though, I am not really looking forward to doing my Christmas shopping and tackling the shops!

So what changed? Well, I spent to weekend getting into the swing of all things Christmassy. 

OOTD: White Lace

When I woke up this morning it was so dull and drizzly outside that I wanted to inject a a little spring into my outfit to brighten up my day. 

Due to the typical british weather, I couldn't take my OOTD photos outside - without getting soaked anyways - so I had to settle with taking them inside, which means I had very limited places to take the photos. The next OOTD post will have better photographs, I promise! 

Fundraising Target Smashed at Pancreatic Cancer Fun Day!

On Sunday 30th November 2014 a charity fun day that was suitable for the whole family took place at River Rooms in Stourbridge in support of Pancreatic Cancer and in the loving memory of Lee Wilson, a Black Country comic but also a Dad, Grandad and Great Grandad who sadly lost his battle to Pancreatic Cancer. It was organised by Lee's grandchildren Libby, Ellie, Emily and Sam Martin and was such a well thought out event that almost DOUBLED their fundraising target!

November Favourites.

I can't quite get my head around the fact that it is December already and Christmas is just around the corner. This is bitter sweet for me, I am super excited for Christmas and I am feeling rather festive, but it's less than a month away and I haven't even started buying gifts for anyone yet - whoopsie!

Anyways, enough of the festivities, let's get into the purpose of this post - my November favourites.
